Great for ball handling. Only have used the ball a little while outdoors but it seems to hold up well and flies true off the fingertips when shooting jumpers. For the money this is an excellent basketball.

I just ordered my second one of this ball. It is a good all around ball. It feels a bit spongy and sticky at first, but offers good grip. The fact that it's indoor/outdoor sold me. I wanted a TF 1000, but I don't play indoors all of the time. I recieved my new ball from Walmart.com, but I noticed the rubber is pealing off at the seams. What the heck? I never had this problem with my old excel BB. I am sending it back to Walmart for replacement. Hopefully the replacement ball will not be pealing. I took one star off due to this manufacturing defect. If the next one I receive is pealing, I'll have to change my rating of the ball.

Plastic Ball, looks and feels like a good ball BUT

First I had no Idea how LONG it would take to get to the store. I guess thats what you get for free.

Also, this ball had all the attributes I was looking for, unfortunately I did not spend enough money, because this is a plastic ball. The quality of the sound of the bounce sings, or rings, almost like big rubber bouncy balls you use on the playground (4 square, wall ball, kickball the yellow or red ones). It has been designed to fool you into buying the right priced ball. I would not recommend this ball if you want a genuinely nice ball. This is not it. It feels ok, and the deep channels make it look like that's the ball I wanted but unfortunately I am disappointed. I knew when I got it and looked at the balls air fill valve it was a cheap ball. It was cheaply molded and didnt sit cleanly in its hole, almost seemed pushed in a bit. It came in a brown cardboard box with no specific packaging, a ball in a box....over promised, under delivered!

Beautiful ball! Great Purchase!

I gave this as a gift to a close friend of mine and I've played with it for about a year now. The ball has really kept up with all the abuse (2 or 3 games a week) and it maintains its grip. I'd recommend it anyday. I did however purchase a Tack Soft from the same brand in the same price range and I'd recommend that texture over this one, however, this one maintains its grip a little longer.

Honestly, there isn't a lot to review on a basketball. I mean, the covering has been sturdy through outdoor play and that's about all I can say. I guess I could say it bounces and is good and round, but seriously, it is a very good ball for the money.

Great development / indoor game ball!!!

This is a great indoor rock. It has good weight and grip. It is heavier than most balls but then again it is a Baller's Ball and not for the weak. It is not really made for outdoor play since it attracts dirt very easily until broken in. I've given away 5 of these already to young up and comers who want to develop a better jump shot and this is the ball for that.

Best wearing outdoor ball available

I've had a few of these over the past several years. This is the best ball for overall wear and feel if you're playing outside on hardtop. If you're playing inside exclusively, there are better balls (Wilson Evolution, TF1000).

While it does take a little breaking-in, once it's broken in, it will hold it's feel, until it just gets too worn out to play with (the edges of the panels will start to peel away eventually with enough use).

I took one star off value because I have previously been able to find this item on sale for up to 30% off.

Not bad...im pleased after 2 weeks

So far so good...im pleased...have used it outside and inside...still has grip and need to be broken in yet. Seems a bit smaller in size box says 29.5 ill give it more time to loosen up. The gym I frequent has purchased several....keeping an eye on them and how they ware.

Great Ball but I found the $14.99 Official NBA size Indoor/Outdoor "Super Tack" Ball to be just as good if not better. The problem is when your hands are wet the Ball Slips. Super Tack Helps with this IMO. Save the money and get the "Super Tack" Ball. You can thank me later! -Collin
